Chapter 5
Risa's POV
It was morning and I was about to get out of bed until I started feeling dizzy and fell on the floor and that made a huge 'thud' noise. I then started shaking uncontrollably and feeling pain everywhere in my body.
I heard the door open but I couldn't focus on anything but the pain itself. All I know and remember was that Ryo came into the room and started panicking, he then asked Vienna to call Aiko and an ambulance for me. I then passed out after that.
I woke up and saw that I was in the hospital and saw Ryo sitting next to me with his head down.
"Ryo?" I said softly, trying my best to sit up straight.
Ryo looked at me shocked. "Onesan! You're awake!" He then helped me sit up straight and told me what happened.
"That sounds weird, is it a seizure? It can't be. I don't know why but I feel that it's not a human type of symptoms. Maybe it's a fairy type of symptoms?" I questioned Ryo even though I knew he wouldn't know the answer.
Maya's POV
I can't believe this is happening, my baby boy tried to kill himself or maybe he took too many pills by accident? i know he was feeling depressed and seeing a therapist and he had to take Anti-depressants. And just for that girl?! I knew he was in pain, I knew that he was hurt and now he is in the hospital for drug overdose!
I remember when I was first introduced to Alessandra, Brandon and her were still babies and Hayden though it would be a good idea if they have a playdate which I agreed to. Man, was that a mistake!
I saw that Alessandra looked exactly like her mother except for her eyes, she took that after her father. Brandon and Alessandra played well together and after one playdate to another and years went by, they became best friends. I was really happy that Brandon has a good friend with him.
But when he was 16 years old, he told me that he asked her on a date and she said yes, I didn't know what to say. I was just happy for him, I know he liked Alessandra and I heard from Jaden and Renee that he was going to asked her out. I was just happy for him, at first. After years of relationship, I started to hate their relationship. And just to tell you that it is not because she is white and he is black, but their relationship was so one-sided. Brandon tried so hard to impress her that he abandoned a lot of what he loves to be with her. Eventually, he started to change from a joking cute boy I know to a very serious guy that still tried hard to impress her.
Alessandra was a nice girl, but she was not the right girl for Brandon because they were never compatible from the start and it was so obvious to me and to my daughter Renee. Unfortunately, it was not obvious to Hayden or Alessandra's parents, it wasn't even obvious to him but both of us knew that their relationship would never last long.
They dated for 5 years and I thought and believed and hoped that I was wrong but when the incident happened to Alessandra that she went missing. Everything became a mess! What happened to her was tragic but what happened to Brandon broke him. I know I should never condone Brandon for calling her ' a Tramp' but in context the "Playboy's (which is her now husband) Tramp' but she wasn't even honest with him about her relationship, she just kept running away that my husband and the whole gang was looking for her. TWICE!!!
She kept running away from her problems, it was unfair for Brandon and for everyone else involved. What kind of woman doesn't want to listen to her partner about their future together, what kind of daughter never tells her parents that she was moving abroad. SO WHAT? She's 22 and that makes her an adult? my own mother would still hit me upside the head even if I was 30 because she is my mother! I started to hate her on what she did to my son, on what she never said to him. She never apologized for her actions. Now my son has to pay the consequences for her mistakes.
"Maya, babe. The doctor says that Brandon is okay but he hasn't woken up yet and they want to keep him here for observation." Hayden said to me and I just kept sobbing.
"You know I got a call from Trent and turns out Alessandra is having twi-" he turned to me and I am pissed.
"DON'T mention that girl to me. Never mention her!" I yelled at him
"Maya, it's not her fault that this happened."
"ARE YOU KIDDING ME Hayden! IT IS! If she hadn't gone out of the country or ... Or just discuss with Brandon about their future together or... Or... even talk to Brandon about what their relationship is now and not go with another man. And... and..."
"Brandon cheated on Alessandra, Maya."
"Alessandra cheated on Brandon!"
"She had amnesia!"
"That is still not an excuse not to feel guilty or remorse over it! She didn't feel sorry that she cheated as well and she cheated while she got her memories back too! At a bar no less!" Then I just took a deep breath and calmed down as people started staring. "Hayden... Just can we pause this arguement for a second because I think what's important is... Brandon and hope he wakes up soon. So we can be there for him like we should have in the first place." I said crying and sobbing while Hayden hugged me tightly while tears fell down from my cheek to his shirt.
*My baby boy... please be okay*
Aiko's POV
I went to Risa's room to check on her when I heard the conversation that they were having. I went inside and did some examination on her, to see if her speculation is correct but the weird thing was that she is wrong yet right at the same time. She is wrong with certain aspects but right in the magical side.
Risa then started to doze off as the medicine started to kick in and after a few hours, my mother-in-law and father-in-law came running towards me when they saw me.
"Aiko! How is she? What happened to her?!" Auntie Sara says panicking just like how Ryo did when he came to the hospital with Risa.
I held mother-in-law's shoulders. "Mom, calm down. She is fine but I need to talk to you about her condition that maybe you might know about." I said to her and she looked at me in confusion.
"Wait! But you're a doctor! Shouldn't you know what is going on with Risa?" My father-in-law asked me.
"Well, it's not a normal type of symptom she has, it's more of a Sypmtom that mostly happens to our kind " I winked at him, hoping he gets the point of the conversation.
He did and so did my mother-in-law, I told my father-n-law to sit at the waiting area while I guided my mother-in-law to Risa's room. I closed and locked the door shut while Mother-n-law looked at her daughter.
"Well, at least she looks healthy, so what kind of fairy symptoms does she have? Spots or triangles or squares on her face? her wings seem of a different colour..."
I cut her off and said, "Or, her Aura and heart have been merged." I said grinning nervously at her.
"What?... What are you talking about? " she asked me.
I took a book out of one of the drawers that i brought from the Mythical Realm library and flipped to the page that I found.
" Merger, okay that is impossible! Unless there was an neckla..."
"A Necklace, yeah that must have been my fault. Sorry." I said to her.
"What are you talking about?! What did you do?" she glared at me.
I sighed and told her to sit down which at first she refused but then eventually she calmed down to hear me out.
"Remember when Risa was 15 and she got her heart broken? She was in love with this guy, Umm, I forgot his name and when she found out that he already chose another girl she started to cry and feel so depressed and..." I paused. "I gave her something that might be the reason why her Aura is merged and the merger might be the reason why she decided to end her first marriage with her husband.
"Okay, so you gave her an necklace?"
"Yes, I gave her the Necklace and a ring, she is wearing the butterfly necklace now and the ring she gave to that guy. I told her if she and that guy were meant to be, then the necklace will lead them to each other no matter what."
Aunt Sara stood up. " Aiko, that is a really sweet sentiment but merging is dangerous! To break the merger, you either have to get both the necklace and the ring together and destroy it or one of them has to die!. I can't lose her!"
"But don't you get it? Since the merger has proceeded it means that Risa and that guy are..."
She gasped. "Soulmates! I heard of that, but merging means that he can feel her and she can feel." she gasped.
again."HIM!" I nodded at her and she hugged me.
"I gave it to Risa because if it's true that he is her soulmate, I want them to find each other again and maybe Risa can be happy," I said to her and she agreed but told me that any pain that her soulmates faces, she will feel too so hopefully he shows up soon and we can avoid all that.
The merger of 2 Auras and and 2 hearts sync as one. It's when 2 soulmates have been destined to be together and no one would ever replace each other. So any other relationships that they may have had will be shattered by fate. Once the merger is complete and fate has its way to destroy their relationship with the people that are not their soulmates, they will not need the merger to be together and it will just be a necklace and a ring to feel each other's hearts. It's beautiful.
My mother-in-law and father-in-law stayed with Risa as I went and checked on my other patients I was assigned to but something has been making me curious. What is the name of Risa's soulmate? I know, it's at the tip of my tongue. I knew his name, it's a very common name but I can't remember.
It has been making my mind feel dizzy thinking about it, while I was going from patient to patient but I still can't get his name right. I'm so close to knowing what his name was.
*Tyler? Daniel? John? Robert? Nahhhh! Alex? Dylan?James? Ughhhh! This is so frustrating! But I need to focus on my patients, I'll think about this later. Okay... Who do I have next? B.Johnson, Drug overdose. Yikes.*
I went to B.Johnson's room and I saw there was a woman sleeping at the chair near the patient. She looks older than him like she could be his mother but I just continue my work and do what I have to do and check on him.
After checking, I started to look at the patient's face and he looked very familiar to me like I have seen him before and then it clicked!
Flashback
Risa started laughing at her phone and grinning. I was so curious that I tried to look over her shoulder again and she noticed.
"HEY! PRIVACY AGAIN!" she shouted and I could see the mad look on her face.
"Sorry, but when are you going to show me this guy? What does he even look like." I asked.
She started grinning and blushing again and she tapped and swiped on her phone and showed me the photo of the guy. "This is him! This is Brandon Johnson!"
Present
I gasped and quickly looked at the patient's details and saw his full name clearly. My eyes widened as I saw the letter one by one and saw how it spelled. "Brandon Johnson, It's him..." I whispered
And as fate would have it, he is in the same hospital as Risa and was brought in almost the exact same time. I looked at him closely and remembered why he was in here.
*Drug overdose, so that is the reason for Risa's seizure type symptoms, the pain and other things too. It's because he overdosed on pills, this is dangerous. We need to help him, we need them to be together to make the merger complete, and I know the person who would definitely help to get Risa and Brandon together*
I went and saw the one person who will stand by Risa's side as he always feels like he owes her.
"Ryo!" I called Ryo, who was drinking a soda from the vending machine. "Hey, where is Vienna?" I asked as I looked around and did not see her anywhere.
"Oh, she went back to look after the twins. What's up?" he asked me.
Then I told him everything, about the merger, the necklace and ring and also about Brandon which at first he asked if it was the right person and I asked him to follow me to see for himself. He looked at Brandon at the entrance of the room and his eyes widened.
"That... is he, and you're saying that he came here on the same day and almost the same time as Risa did?" he asked me and I nodded.
"Yup, and also he was here because of Drug overdose which also means a possibility of a seizure. Which explains the reason for her reaction of this morning."
"That's amazing!. I mean... uh terrible about Brandon but great for Risa!" he then realised something. "Man... Overdose...does that mean he was trying to kill himself?" he asked me.
"I'm not sure, maybe he did or maybe he didn't. I had a friend who overdosed on aspirins in med school. Yeah, I was breezing through the exams easily eventhough it was really hard sometimes, she was having a hard time and took too many aspirins and overdose herself due to stress. So maybe he went over the dose limit and just overdosed on it."
"I know what you want me to do." he looked and smiled at me and I knew I got to him. "You want me to set them up so they can be together and the merger will be complete. I'll do it, I'll do it for Onesan. Anything for her."
I am happy that he got it and now I am just intrigued by what kind of plan he was thinking of to get them together.
Maya's POV
I woke up to see that Brandon still hadn't woken up yet but I heard footsteps approaching the room and saw Jaden and Renee. I saw the worried looks on their faces as they approached their little brother.
Renee was in tears and started hugging Brandon. "Brandon, please wake up! Don't do this to us." she started crying even louder until we all couldn't hear what she was saying.
Jaden was different, he kept his tears from falling but failed, Hayden had the same reaction but he always tried to hide it with sunglasses. I feel that both Jaden and my husband are too alike for their own good, he even joined the same gang as his dad.
Brandon was recruited by Trent but he declined even though he was trained by his father, he didn't have the stomach to do it ever since the accident he had when he was 18, that accident change him in a way that becoming a gangster like his dad has become something that he didn't want to do as a career choice. I don't blame him.
I do not regret marrying my husband because he was the best thing that has ever happened to me, my best friend was the one that introduced me to him at a party and I was so happy to even meet such a good guy, ironic since he is in a gang. I can't be so judgemental about it since my father's previous profession wasn't so wholesome either.
"Mom?" I heard Renee called me, I looked up at her. "The nurse says visiting hours are over, we can see him again tomorrow."
I just nodded and gave my son a kiss goodbye before leaving, I couldn't do or say anything. All I can do right now is hope that he would wake up and also hope that he would be happier and not feel sad anymore. I want my son to have a long and happy life and to do that, I just need to hope for the best that after he wakes up, that he will find his happiness, somehow, somewhere and with someone who would love him for who he is.
